Pet naming

Anyone else wish that pets couldn't be named their NPC name? One of the iconic things about pets is being able to name them. And yet I come across people VERY often that name them after the npc. How boring and unimaginative. Why not just name your character Hunterplayer? We have something COMPLETELY unique to our class and people just don't utilize that opportunity. We all know that your pet is Loque'nahak from Sholazar Basin. Or Arcturis. Or Skoll. Or or or...

People have the right to retain the original names if they wish. If it isn't your pet, it isn't your business.

some ppl are not original thinkings when coming up with names... ala toon names copied by other ppl... two of my many pets are named after allies and villain Monsters of Godzilla, Quillen named Ceasar, named after King Ceasar, and the golden chimaera named Ghidora... wish they come out with the three headed one though.

Depends wther or not you are into RPing !
Personally though I'm not an RPer but just like to give them the nicknames of friends I play with
Funny to name your snake after the name of your friends GF aswell ^^

I cant stand people who name their pet after the rare, be more creative....I use names to match a set of pets such as my spirit beasts: Twilight, Midnight, Moonlight, Sunlight or when I had my lava spiders from FL I used the japanese name for those colors. Now that I think about it, I could also use fruit names for each of those spiders!

Well I can't stand people who make another QQ thread, how boring and unimaginative.

In a more serious note:
If the NPC already has a name and you like it, why can't you just name your new pet like his old name?
How do you like it if people don't like your name and give you a new name?
